Board Goals: The Board of Directors has developed a set of annual goals. The primary goals are:
- To involve additional individuals in the operations of the chapter
- To refine the chapter’s operations so that we can be primed to grow and prosper
- To assure that we are aligned with the desires of our membership and to become more relevant
In addition to these general goals, the Board defined a series of detailed goals and established "teams" to carry out the goals. The teams also provide opportunities for involving new volunteers in our activities. View the Goals Document (PDF)
